Kerry, my boat was built from the Zip kit and yes I believe the bulkhead is in the stock location.

Kerry,

that will work fine, post some pictures when you get it done! What engine do you plan on using?

 

[Kerry Norton]

thanks....I've got a strong CMB45HR for it, How far back from the transom are you running the end of the strut? thank you Kerry.

I've built the older model, high rear boom plans... ( ?) motor centerline is 17.5" from the transom, same strut deal as Martin's.....( delrin spacer)..... cut speedmaster rudder leading edge @ 2" from transom.... ( beware this point, as trial and error showed me propwash effecting the rudder, with other lengths, and I'm almost not sure on this one either)...... Martin?.... start with a cupped up 1457 with what you have, and hang on!... this boat is a beast, will turn like its on after burner, and mine rides great.... good luck, test well. Mike
